Oh, okay. Too many Sean/Shaun/Shawns around. But I still don't like Shaun Sipos. (He was in a movie with Mike Welch, which I haven't seen yet, btw.)

That was a different kid you're thinking of. It was Shawn Pyfrom who let his mother become homeless while he was making big bucks on Desperate Housewives. I really don't know anything about this Shaun Sipos dude. I'd never seen him before LUX, that I know of. I didn't care for him either and I totally HATED that storyline too! I guess for me, S1 was all about Lux and S2 was all about Baze. And in the end, I was happy with it.

Looking back over the series, I'd say my favorite things were...
1. Every moment Kris Pohala was onscreen - he's serious back-up guy material.
2. Britt Robertson's effervescence - even when Lux was driving me crazy, I always found Britt's performance compelling.
3. Seeing Emma Caulfield in a role that was actually worthy of her for the first time since Buffy.
4. Gaining an appreciation for Kerr Smith. Finally.
5. Just the over-all oddness of the series, and never being sure where it was gonna go any given week.

Great song. Didn't know Kris Polaha was a music kinda guy, but I love it!

I finally watched the finale too, and I have mixed feelings about the show. At some point in season two, I was ready to give up on it. I think it was around the time when they introduced Emma's son. Because I was getting sick of all the love triangle/jealousy drama. It was getting a bit too much. But I liked it better again towards the end of the season.

Also, through this show, I discovered that I just really, really, really don't like Shaun Sipos. (Also, didn't a certain someone once tell us that he's kind of a jerk to his mom?) The whole Lux/Eric storyline felt so wrong from the get-go (in a TV writing rather than moral kind of way). I hated it. And I'm glad they split Lux and Eric up. The epilogue was sweet. Baze + Cate = love. Literally.

Kris Polaha = major sweetness. For me, he was the best thing about the show. 'Nuff said.
Kerr Smith... Hm, not so much. Can't even say why, but he didn't earn a lot of brownie points in my book.

And while we're talking about backup guys... La la la la la la

:silly:

I'm working on getting the newest episodes. I can't believe another great show is dead.

That's awesome! Don't think you'll end up on Medium though. Cancellation became official today. They're not even getting a back nine, are they?

Last Tuesday's episode was the last one I will be working on (it was always a temp job) but next week I am supposed to start on Southland. (I seem to be working on all of Deb's favorites...will Medium be next?) Not sure, but it seems like I will be finishing out the season. Now I need to see a few episodes...

Hehe, I loved the Roswell line too! Hilarious! These guys know how to poke fun at themselves, and I like that.

Yeah, it was in the 3rd season. He played an old friend of Izzie's husband who came for a visit. He turned out to be this nosy reporter who was hunting for a good story to publish, so he got less lovable as the episode went on. But he did look quite snazzy.

I didn't even know he was in a Roswell ep. That's cool.

I know how you feel. Even though the predictability is quite prominent sometimes, I always wanna go back a week later and watch the next episode. I have a very soft spot for Baze, even though he's probably the biggest idiot of all.

Did I mention that I watched the Roswell episode the other day that he was in? He didn't have any scenes with Shiri, though.
